In the past I've been able to use mmap64() on ppc440 to get at 36-bit
addresses.  As far as I know this should still work.

Also you should be able to get at the BAR of a PCI device by using
mmap() on a resource file under /sys/devices, eg something like
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:0b:00.0/resource0
(where the bus numbers obviously depend on your system and the resource
number depends on what BAR your device has registers in)
